With the ground nicely saturated, I braved the 100% humidity (and I'm not exaggerating) and tackled the weed situation in the garden. An hour and a half later, I had a bumper crop!
See how nice and neat it looks in the background! Normally, I have lots of pictures of tomatoes and peppers. Nope. I have put away 10 quarts of tomatoes and made as small batch of hot sauce (less than a quart) with jalapenos. We haven't really cooked with too many tomatoes either. Still no green peppers!
The zinnias are spectacular this year. The variety I always buy are called State Fair Zinnias. A neighbor walking by commented on them the other day. I even caught an busy bee in the act on them.
My favorite zinnia this year is this cream colored one. I haven't seen this color in quite some time.
Lots of reds, oranges and light and dark pink this year with a little bit of yellow here and there. I put a row of zinnias along the back of the garden in addition to the middle.
I hope every has a nice relaxing day off for Labor Day, because it's back to work tomorrow! As for me, I think I will head out side and tackle the flower beds.
It never ends!
